Chapter 974 Defense Lawyer Leon. Gan Bida

Braving the hazy rain and fog, the procession escorting Orsini accelerated towards the location of the administrative court.

After about ten minutes, the procession arrived at the gates of the (Maximum) Administrative Court.

The captain who led the team quickly turned over and dismounted, and several cavalrymen who followed the captain also dismounted.

Then they handed the reins to their companions, who were still on their horses, and walked slowly to the door of the carriage in which Orsini was staying.

"Prisoner Alsini ......" the captain called out the names of the assassins in turn in a solemn tone, "The Supreme Court has arrived, get out of the car quickly!"

The carriage slowly opened, and Orsini and the three co-workers stepped down from the carriage in turn.

Then, under the escort of the cavalry captain, he stepped into the Supreme Administrative Court step by step.

When Orsini arrived in the halls of the Administrative Court, a group of soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the First Reich's infantry, led by an officer in the uniform of a major, came to Orsini.

Seeing this, the captain of the cavalry, who was responsible for escorting Orsini, hurriedly gave a military salute to the other party, "Sir!"

The Major also solemnly returned a military salute, and then said, "Thank you! We'll take care of the rest!"

"Yes!" The cavalry captain spoke in a sonorous tone, and then led his team to turn and leave the administrative court.

The Major, who was in charge of escorting Orsini to the courtroom, looked Orsini up and down with undisguised disgust, "You are Orsini?"

"That's right!" Orsini raised his head and said to the Major in a proud manner, "I am Orsini!"

"You're crazy!" A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the Major's mouth, and he said with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Do you think that it is a great thing for you to assassinate His Majesty!"

"No! I regret what I did!" Orsini shook his head and said with a sincere expression.

Orsini's answer surprised the Major, who he had expected to regret that the proud Orsini had uncharacteristically regretted.

However, the Major's attitude towards him remained unchanged, and in the Major's view, the reason why Orsini chose to admit his mistake was nothing more than because he was afraid of death, and it was just a trick for him to ask the court for forgiveness.

So, the major sneered, and then continued to output, "Regret! It's too late to regret it now!

Did you know that your previous actions almost killed a great monarch, one of the closest companions of the French army!

The whole army is dissatisfied with your despicable and shameless behavior, and if it were not for His Majesty the Emperor's insistence that you be tried by law, you would not have waited for the opportunity of the court to try you!

You will be able to live for two more months thanks to the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor!

Dogs like you *** should have been pulled out and shot a long time ago!"

In the face of the Major's insults, Orsini was not angry, and he knew that the reason why he was able to live for two more months was due to Jérôme, who was the person concerned. Bonaparte.

At that time, under such circumstances, it was very merciful that Orsini was not directly killed.

….

"I regret the mistake I made in the first place, and I am very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for giving me the opportunity to be judged by the law!" Orsini humbly addressed the Major, and then he kindly reminded the Major, "Mr. Officer, it is not too early for the court to begin, shall we continue to be here?"

"Let's go!" The Major took Orsini to the side gallery of the courthouse with three co-operatives, where he awaited the upcoming session.

At this moment, the auditorium and the corridor behind the auditorium were already crowded with people, some of them were newspaper reporters, some were members of the party, some were law school students, and ordinary people eating melons, who were waiting eagerly for the trial to begin.

As the time came to 3 p.m., three judges dressed in bright red robes with delicate fur collars walked out of the corridor on one side of the courtroom.

The trial has also officially begun.

After the three justices (one chief and two deputies) had taken their seats in turn, Justice Auvergne, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at the slightly commotion of the audience in the distance, he took the wooden hammer in his hand and struck it lightly twice, and as the crisp sound came out, the audience in the audience was much quieter.

Immediately afterward, Auvergne continued in a dignified and sacred tone to those present, "Silence!"

At this moment, everyone in the audience fell silent, and they looked at Auvergne on the stage, quietly waiting for his next sentence.

"Bringing the Prisoner Alsini ......"

At Auvergne's orders, Orsini and the three collaborators were brought up and placed in the place where they were put on trial.

Immediately afterwards, Auvergne demanded that the plaintiff (i.e., Jérôme. Bonaparte, Augusta) told the story of the crime committed by Orsini.

Responsible for Jérôme. The person who provided legal advice to Bonaparte and Augusta was none other than the Minister of State, Guizo, who had come from the Faculty of Law and Philosophy, and who skillfully applied the laws of the Empire and added charges to Orsini's head.

When the minister said this, he smiled at Auvergne, "That's all I have to say, Your Excellency!"

"Quizo ......" Auvergne immediately realized that the title was inappropriate, and he hurriedly corrected it, "Lawyer Kizo, please sit down!"

Kizuo bowed slightly to Auvergne, then looked at the defense lawyer across from him.

"Defendant, is there anything else you want to say?" Auvergne turned his gaze to Orsini, then asked.

Orsini glanced at his defense lawyer, then smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Faced with such a disadvantaged situation, Orsini's defense lawyer did not choose to give up, and he quickly stood up and refuted the charges just convicted by Kizuo.

Although there are some problems with the rebuttal of some of the charges, on the whole, the defense lawyer's thinking is quite clear.

Quizo and Auvergne couldn't help but glance up at the defense lawyer opposite.

What was expected to be a one-sided battle was also a strong interest in the defense of the audience.

Although they already knew that the outcome would end with Orsini's death, they wanted to see who was better at the law between Guizo and the lawyer.

….

A veteran lawyer who became famous, an amateur lawyer who was not well-known at all, and was blind in one eye.

The struggle between two people is an interesting thing.

Immediately afterwards, Quizo refuted Orsini's defense lawyer and provided Auvergne with some evidence and witnesses.

Seeing this, Orsini's defense lawyer had no choice but to fight for a reduction in the sentence on the grounds of attempted murder and voluntary surrender.

Just as Orsini's defense lawyer was in contact with Quizo, Orsini, who had not spoken, spoke, "I plead guilty!"

As soon as these words came out, the defense lawyer was no longer able to return to heaven, and he could only clench his fists and remain silent.

"Now that the defendant has confessed to his guilt, I declare Orsini sentenced to death......" Auvergne sentenced Orsini to death in court, and two of the remaining three Sardinian collaborators were also sentenced to death.

There is also one, who was sentenced to more than twenty years in prison (because this one, did not participate in the actual assassination. )。

As soon as the verdict came, Auvergne impatiently knocked the wooden hammer in his hand, indicating that the change would take effect immediately.

The trial took just over an hour before Orsini and the three collaborators were taken in again.

Kizuo glanced at the defense lawyer who was sorting out the documents across from him, and he slowly walked up to the defense lawyer and praised, "It's amazing that you can do this as a law student!"

Defendant law

After hearing Ji Zuo's speech, Shi had a surprised look on his face, "How do you know?"

"Because your interpretation of the law is a little too dogmatic!" Kizuo said to the defendant's lawyer, "A lawyer with a little experience will never be like you!"

"I see!" The defendant's lawyer muttered, and then cheered up and responded to Ji Zuo, "Next time, next time, I will definitely not do this!"

"I'm looking forward to your next one!" Ji Zuo replied to the defendant's lawyer, and then asked the defendant's lawyer, "That's right! Can you tell me what your name is?"

To be honest, Kizuo wants to talk about this little guy with spirituality and receive it under his command.

Just like Talleyrand and Thiers, he had a hunch that the future of this little guy in front of him must be limitless.

It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to have chosen to take refuge in him because of his identity, "Your Excellency Jizuo, I'm sorry, my faith doesn't allow me to take refuge in you!"

"Your faith? What do you believe?" Kizuo asked curiously.

"Your Excellency, I am a staunch republican! I believe that republicanism will surely blossom in this land!" The defendant's lawyer said a word to Jizuo in a firm tone.

Hearing that the opposite side was a republican, Kizuo still did not give up, and he told the other side that there was nothing wrong with even republicans, and that only pragmatism was the most unpretentious doctrine in this world.

However, the other party is not a pragmatist like Kizuo, and he once again shakes his head and rejects Kizuo's invitation, saying that he will never change his beliefs.

Kizuo could only shake his head regretfully, and then asked what the other party's name was.

"Minister Kizo, my name is Ang. Gan Bida!" Leang. Gan Bida did not shy away from saying, "My goal is to overthrow the rule of the Empire, so there is no compromise in my dictionary!"

Gangetic catfish
